Story Recap
Episode 1
A wedding ceremony is underway, and the vows take a strange turn. Bella is asked whether she'll take Edward as her husband — she hesitates, telling her mother she won't go through with it, but then says yes, and the two are declared married. Bella tells Edward, "You're my wife now, Bella." She quietly admits she wishes her mother could have been there; her last wish was to help her find a man to spend her life with. Bella hasn't seen Edward since she was sixteen and wonders if he even remembers her. Edward then tells his mother he's leaving the country, somewhere she can't reach him.
Episode 2
Bella is at her law office, reminding a colleague to simply call her Bella. A furious client confronts her — she's the lawyer who helped his wife walk away with half his savings. He insists he worked hard for that money while his ex stayed home with the kids. Bella stands her ground, pointing out that marital assets are split fifty-fifty and that the woman spent her best years raising three children, so she deserves her share. The man threatens to send them all to hell if he doesn't get his money back. Bella doesn't flinch.
Episode 3
At the office, Bella is briefly lost in a familiar feeling before a colleague checks on her. A new client arrives: Edward, CEO of a top AI company, who has an appointment. Bella freezes — this can't be her Edward, since his last name is different. She's introduced as their top attorney, Bella Windsor. Edward says he's finally found her, but Bella keeps things professional, insisting he call her Miss Windsor. He explains a contract from four years ago: his mother invested in his company in exchange for him marrying a woman she chose. Bella wonders if he really is her Edward.
Episode 4
Edward admits he never even knew his fiancée's last name — it wasn't a real contract to him. He asks whether his mother could take him to court and cause trouble. Bella notes that since he took the money, the bigger risk is reputational: she advises him to talk to his mother and end things peacefully, because a public fight could ruin him. He steps away for a call, and Bella learns his mother is Josephine. Josephine tells her Edward is back, leaving Bella rattled. She cuts the meeting short, but when asked if he wants a different lawyer, Edward insists he wants her.
Episode 5
At a charity event, Edward's mother arrives after four years apart, and he coldly tells her to leave. She asks if he's changed his mind about the marriage. He refuses — he's there to repay her investment and end the ridiculous agreement. She says she doesn't care about the money, but he won't marry someone he doesn't love just because she's chasing a childhood memory. Josephine calls it a kid's game, but Edward insists he's found her. Then Bella arrives with a bottle of wine for Josephine, who excitedly reveals Edward is waiting in the study, eager to meet her.
Will Edward and Bella finally recognize each other — or will the truth slip out first? Hit play and find out.
